Reading the Bible

Many Christians haven’t really read the
bible, only selected, edible parts. Quite a few actually become atheists after
having read all of it.

Hardcore Christians and Christian apologists
don’t care one way or another, no matter what their holy book says, not
deviating in any way from what they want
it to say, but there are those reacting strongly to passages like these:

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep
respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. Ephesians 6:5

You may purchase male or female slaves from
among the foreigners who live among you. You
may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who
have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them
on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like
this, but the people of Israel,
your relatives, must never be treated this way. From Leviticus 25:44-46

Kill every male among the little ones, and
kill every woman who has known man intimately. But all the girls who have not
known man intimately, spare for yourselves. Numbers 31:17-18

This should give anyone ignorant a certain
idea what the Bible is truly about.

About me

Lise has turned twenty-five and doesn't like it very much. They say it's halfway to fifty. Aside from that Lise has no problems. She has earned a philosophy masters degree at the University of Bergen, and is indeed a very philosophical person, something expressing itself in a number of ways. Lise is Lise, but is otherwise very mysterious, and even though you may feel you recognize her, you would be wrong. She is probably not the mature, sophisticated woman in the office near you.
